Same Old Love • Klaus Mikaelson • (NS Trilogy)

Chapter 15: All My Undead Children

I'm climbing through Stefan's window and I notice he's still sleeping. I slip off my boots and lay in the bed slowly. I propped myself up next to his ear and whispered.

"Stefan." I sung. He groaned and moved over. I gave him a look before sighing. "Stefan." I rolled my eyes at his heavy sleeping ass. I grabbed a hand full of pop its out of my back pocket and threw them on the floor. They started popping and crackling making Stefan shoot up. Laughs left my mouth and I felt my face grow hot. Stefan gave me an annoyed look and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Arielle.." He groaned. I smirked and fiddled with one of his sheets.

"Yes.." I spoke innocently.

"What the hell are you doing here this early in the morning?" He questioned rubbing his face.

"Messing with you." I answered blatantly.

"Oh, really?" He countered sarcastically. I smirked at him and twisted my strawberry blonde locks.

"Hey! Don't use my sarcasm against me, Salvatore!" I warned. He fake surrendered and walked into his restroom. After a couple minutes he comes back out and sits in his desk turned towards me.

"So to what do I owe the pleasure?" Stefan asked sadistically.

"Well for starters-" I pause and my eyes avert to his abs. I rolled my eyes and looked back at the floor. I felt his amusement and I let out a forced chuckle. "Put on a shirt." I threw him a random clean shirt from his drawer and he kept his smile.

He slid on the shirt with a laugh. "What's the matter, Arielle, bothered?" Stefan taunted. I laughed and laid back on his bed. Pshh no, he's not all that, I've seen better to be honest.

"No, not really." I stated bluntly. He smirked and crossed his arms. He gave me a look to continue speaking and we shared glares before I finished. "I need your opinion on something." I started getting up and walking in a circle.

"So you know how Tyler bit Caroline?" I reminded. He nodded. "After you tried to kill my sister and I for leverage," I halted and glared at him. "Klaus came to my house asking for my help."

He furrowed his eyebrows. "Your help? What could you do?" I gave him a look of agreement.

"Exactly what I was thinking. So you know how I get when I hear that the people I care about are in danger. Then I realized that he made Tyler bite her so he was the only one that could heal her." I added.

"And his true mate. But we don't know who that is, let alone if he has one." Stefan cut in.

"My thoughts word for word. So I refused his help and tried to help her my way. When that wasn't working Matt gave up and let Klaus in despite my orders. I let hell break loose again until he cut my wrist and told me to try my blood...I was very hesitant at first, but it was a part of me that actually believed it would work." I finished. Stefan looked into my eyes and my gaze dropped to the floor.

"Did it work?" The question was like daggers to my chest.

"Yes.." I answered warily. Stefan gave me a look and then looked like something was adding up.

"It all makes sense now. The road trip, the flirting, the constant caring, the eye contact, the stupid thing I did. You're his ma-" I zoomed over and put my hand over his mouth.

"Do not finish, Salvatore." I warned. I let go of his mouth and he started laughing. When he was done he noticed my irritated expression and smiled.

"Ooh, you know I'm going to taunt you for this right?" Stefan mentioned. I groaned and fell back on his bed.

"Oh go fuck yourself. I couldn't sleep last night because of this. I tried denying it but the feeling I felt before about the blood thing was back and it felt as if it was growing." My words stumbled out my mouth and I covered my face with a pillow.
